Senate refuses to confirm ibrahim magu as efcc chairman

I think there may be some confusion here. Ibrahim Magu was actually the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from 2015 to 2020, but he was not confirmed as the Chairman of the EFCC by the Senate.

In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Magu as the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, but his nomination was rejected by the Senate in 2016 due to allegations of corruption and abuse of office. The Senate refused to confirm Magu as the substantive Chairman of the EFCC, citing concerns about his integrity and the EFCC's handling of cases.

Magu's nomination was rejected again in 2019, and he remained in office as Acting Chairman until his tenure expired in 2020. He was eventually replaced by Abdulrasheed Bawa, who was confirmed as the new Chairman of the EFCC by the Senate in June 2021.

So, to clarify, the Senate did not refuse to confirm Ibrahim Magu as EFCC Chairman, but rather, his nomination was rejected due to allegations of corruption and abuse of office.
